The Interaction of Dextran with Serum Albumin, Gamma Globulin, and Fibrinogen

Abstract

The interaction between dextran and serum albumin, gamma globulin, and fibrinogen can be studied by an electrophoretic method, which depends on obtaining electrophoretic patterns, first of each protein, then of dextran, and finally of mixtures of each protein with dextran. The areas under the electrophoretic spikes for each protein, for dextran, and for the mixtures are measured.
